December 2010 finds

[DigitalSpace]

My lone game find yesterday was an SNES cart:

Battleclash - $2

A pretty meh way to start the month, but it does put me at 250 SNES games, and I now have more than one Super Scope-compatible game in the collection (the other being Lamborghini American Challenge).

Lot sale again but not much.

My 2 obsessions continue: little vintage microphones and broken PS2 systems. I got a model 30001 fat PS2, as-is condition (though probably broken) for $5, a Realistic omnidirectional ball microphone for $1, and a nice little Sony microphone (one of the ones with 2 weird prongs on the end of it's wire) with a stand and case for $1 as well.

Also, a loose Sega CD system, $5. Oooh #2, the loose system is a model 1, the one that fits on the bottom of an original Sega Genesis. Dunno what's different between it and a standard model but I guess it was worth editing in this detail.

Oooh, also a set of Minimus 7 speakers in really great shape, $3 per speaker. The Minimus 7 speaker is a longstanding Radio Shack bookshelf set, a lot of audiophiles scoff at this brand but it's actually a very nice sounding, well built, small set.

Cheesetastic 80's flicks!



Mankillers
Stryker
Hit List (with Jan Micheal Vincent, that guy from Airwolf!)
Oceans of Fire
Gamepro Tips & Strategies Vol. 1
Cross Mission (with a Michael Dudikoff endorsement!)
The Grey Fox (I think this is worth money on eBay... or used to be worth money.)
The Destructors (Bizarre? The cover is bad enough thank you!)
No Dead Heroes (Nazi scientists in the jungle brainwash a US hero into killing his family, the pope, and the president!)
Coldfire (had to pad out the bag)

All of this was $3. There was one huge bucket with VHS tapes, but the guy didn't empty it. Maybe he will tomorrow!

And in case you're wondering why I'm not posting anything from Wednesday... well, in short, the line to cross to the US on foot was about 3 hours long at 4:30 AM. I said "Fuck this" and went back home.

TOO.... MUCH... CHEESE.... *head asplodes*

Holy crap, those are awesome! I have a huge collection of similar movies and I've never seen some of those. If you are ever looking to sell, let me know.

Sell? Nah. But trade? That I can do! I may transfer some of these to AVI too if there isn't any official DVD out.

ooo 80s films!!! not to go off topic but interesting finds from yesteryear one i wish i made a purachase on but didn't and one i did!

but i wish i was smart about it. At a local thrift store about 5 ago there was a entire box of like new Betamax tapes (including horror classics such as Friday the 13th) with box and all almost mint. Should have pounced on that

But one i am glad i pounced on is a movie i have been told is a classic of course but is hard to find for some reason is i got a original VHS copy of "The Monster Squad"

but i am loving these threads you guys got me so inspired i am gonna be checking out my local goodwill store (burlington vermont) for anything! keep on picking!!!

[ryborg]

Sell? Nah. But trade? That I can do!

Any specific titles you're looking for? What do you use to transfer your VHS to your computer? I need to get something like that.

Nice Score. No Dead Heroes is absolutely insane Z Grade schlock!!! and Stryker is a "classic" Italian rambo/mad max rip-off...both of those tapes are pretty damn rare too, usually go for 20 bucks or more...

Really? I bought them because they looked stupidly awesome... if I can flip them, then that's awesome!

Today's finds:



The guy that sold me the Office sets last week still had this thing around. He still wanted the same outrageous price but eventually lowered it down to $15.

The movie... thing on the right? POV: Point Of View. Well, it's apparently a sort of adventure game, but on DVD Video format. It was developed ... uh... produced by what remained of Trilobyte (the creators of The 7th Guest / The 11 Hour). I also own the other game mentioned in the cover, "Tender Loving Care", on DVD-game format, but a PC version exists. Anyway, the booth owner was selling movies for $3 or two for $5. I picked up that and Night of The Living Dead 25th Anniversary, but... the disc was cracked down the middle.

Oh yeah, on the digital distribution side, I bought The Journeyman Project 2: Buried In Time ($3) and got Outcast for free from a friend at GOG.com.

Halo Reach Legendary edition FREE

My love affair with Halo Reach continues as this is the third copy I have had. I suppose I should go into the background story. So I got my regular edition of Halo Reach at launch and ended up paying $20(instead of $60) for it because of gift certificates I had to Best Buy(I also got $20 in gift certificates just for buying it but I'm not even going to count that for this story). And then last month I saw a clearance copy of the legendary edition for $105. I bought it and then promptly sold the flamming helment/elite armor code for $100 buy it now and the recon helment code for $5. My Halo Reach legendary edition just became free.

So at that point I had the legendary edition(minus the dlc codes) and the regular edition of Halo Reach for the grand total of $20. I then sold the legendary edition(minus the dlc codes) for $90 buy it now and my regular copy for $40 buy it now. With that $130 I bought the above copy of Halo Reach brand new for $80. So it was free with $50 left over, which I suppose would cover the tax of all three, although that would only be around $13 or so.

I could easily piece this legendary edition apart and make even more money but some where along the way I remembered that I still need a copy for myself. So I'm going to keep this one and the dlc codes, except for the recon helment code(since I already used the one from the regular edition I had). I'm going to sell that for $5. And I think I'm now done buying Halo Reach...until they come out with a GOTY edition.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Well.

I got up at 4 AM, arrived at the border at 4:50, and crossed over to the US two hours later.

It was still worth it.


$2 + $1.


$1 each.


$5 (one for $2 or three for $5) and $1 each (at two different booths.)


$3 + $1. I just wanted an excuse to scream KAAALIMANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

Oh yeah, this.

$5. Both Star Control 3 (Mac) and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis are BRAND NEW. The last time I got a sealed Indy game I sold it for over $100.

[Cornelius]

I've got that Brubeck disc and like it quite a lot. Nice on those sealed games! I loved Star Con 2, but never checked out 3 at all.

Is it just me, or does Malcom look totally stoned in that picture?

[Kitsune Sniper]

A light day today.

Herbie Hancock: River: the joni letters
Dexys Midnight Runners - Master Series
Underworld: dubnobasswithmyheadman
Brazil Classics 1: Beleza Tropical (compiled by David Byrne)
Brazil Classics 2: O Samba (compiled by David Byrne)
Windows ME Upgrade CD w/key - $1

The music CDs were from one booth. The guy had tons of boxes with VHS tapes, and some with CDs... sadly, most of the CD cases were EMPTY! There was some awesome Jazz stuff from Verve and Blue Note, and all the CDs were GONE. I was sad.

Other than that, today really sucked.

ETA: Crap... Brazil Classics 2 is full of holes and won't rip right. DAMMIT. >_<

[Porksta]

Paid about $45 for it all.

Found Skullmonkeys (PS1) today at a pawn shop. I'm surprised as this place normally doesn't have any games. Kitsune or anyone else interested, I have a couple of large boxes of tapes that I'm getting rid of. I can send some for the cost of shipping.

[weirdguy]

Nascar Racing 2003 Season for the PC complete in box with a slightly crushed box.

It's going on ebay with my Tron DVD (have you guys check how much people are paying for theses ?)

[FamicomFreak]

Sold my 2-disc copy for $85 shipped. I'm going to put more oop discs on Ebay in the coming weeks before Christmas, hopefully I'll get a good return on them as well.
